a written amendment to a person's will, which must be dated, signed and witnessed
just as a will would be, and must make some reference to the will it amends. A codicil
can add to, subtract from or modify the terms of the original will. When the person
dies, both the original will and the codicil are submitted for approval by the court
(probate) and form the basis for administration of the estate and distribution of
the belongings of the writer.
